A Brief Review of Free Slurpee Cup Technology

As far as free Slurpees go, 7/11's free Slurpee cup offers top-tier specs when it comes to free Slurpees—friendly to the environment, made with durable paper material, easy snap-on lid—but does it beat out the competition?

Yes, it does, as it is the only cup offering a free Slurpee today. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. anyone and everyone can get a free Slurpee at a participating 7/11 near you.

We must say that 7/11 really pulled out all the stops with this iteration of the free Slurpee cup. The cup feels incredibly good in the hand with a very natural circular construction and a soft chill when completely full. The distributed weight makes holding the cup incredibly comfortable; it even begins to feel lighter over time. Everything from the psychedelic purple and green design, the strong seal between the lid and the cup, and the superior build quality gives a user confidence that this cup is especially capable at holding liquids, or in this case, a semi-solid/liquid hybrid of Slurpee greatness.

Here are a few tips and tricks when navigating your very own Slurpee cup. First, be sure to snap on a lid before you put contents in the Slurpee cup. The lid provides a strong enough seal to provide significantly more Slurpee content in the lid itself. It's truly inspired design.

Unlike other straws that make you actually lift a drink toward your face, the Slurpee cup provides an elegant solution. We recommend that you grab an extra-big straw so you can rest your arm in a comfortable position yet still reach all that sweet Slurpee goodness.

Bottom line

This is much more than just an ordinary cup. No other OEM can beat out the Slurpee cup on price point, as the Slurpee cup is free. Tomorrow the magic and awe of this wondrous vessel may fade, but today this cup only has one mission—to bring joy to millions. Don't miss out.
